Based on this, the municipality wishes to get in con‐ Tlf. +45 8794 7000 www.skanderborg.dk tact with relevant partners within 4 areas: Plan og Erhverv/ Department of Planning and 1) Testing/development of Smart Grid technology Business Development 2) CO2 efficient villages and city parts Malene Højberg Pedersen 3) Energy behaviour in households Direkte tlf..+45 8794 7309 E-mail: 4) Solar thermal solutions [email protected] Adelgade 44 About the municipality 8660 Skanderborg The municipality of Skanderborg contains 57.303 inhabitants and is neatly situated in the eastern part of Central Denmark, in close prox‐ imity to Aarhus, the second largest city in Denmark. The Department of Planning & Business development employs 11 people of which 3 are involved in the international cooperation of the community, among other things contact to the city’s twinning town, Eisenach in Germany. Previously, the municipality has participated in an INNOURBA project on urban development with partners from Sweden and Finland. The Department of Planning & Business development employs a cli‐ mate co‐ordinator working on Agenda 21 related tasks, especially within the field of climate and energy; an area with a high priority in the municipality. Currently, Skanderborg Municipality is adapting a new climate policy, which focuses on three key areas: 1) converting energy consumption in the municipality (business, households etc. included) into renew‐ able energy; 2) reducing energy consumption and 3) cooperation with businesses and civil society and dissimination of information about switching to the use of energy from renewable energy re‐ source. There is also a strong desire to link the climate strategy to the business development policy which is currently under preparation, in order to ensure that local companies benefit from climate projects and other activities necessary in the step towards a greener econ‐ omy. The municipality has wide experience in terms of engaging the busi‐ ness life and the civil society in dialogue, and the municipality is known to other Danish municipalities for its high level of citizen in‐ volvement. Subsequently, Skanderborg municipality has a good foundation for participating in projects that has a high level of citizen involvement. Geographically, the municipality has good infrastructural ties with the rest of the Central Denmark region, the other part of Denmark and the northern part of Germany. Also, Skanderborg is only an hour’s drive away from the two international airports, Billund and Aarhus Airport. Skanderborg and its co‐municipal cities have a dynamic busi‐ ness life, which is primarily made up of small and medium sized en‐ terprises. The employment rate in area is high, due to a well edu‐ cated labour force and the proximity to the Central Denmark’s capi‐ tal, Aarhus. 1. Smart Grid technology The municipality of Skanderborg would be interested in participating in projects related to Smart Grid technology. Specifically, the munici‐ pality may offer a test platform for potential projects on smart grid technology, where companies/research centres or energy companies behind the projects wish to apply the technology in a local authority context. As an example, Skanderborg municipality has participated in local project about CO2 efficient sailing in the local lake lands (fuelling boats for tourist with electricity generated from solar cells). A further development of such a project would require a combination with Smart Grid technology in order to use the solar energy efficiently and in order to secure that boats are able to draw renewable energy at any time. The municipality could for instance function as a test platform for products or processes and thereby support further development of this or similar project. Similarly, testing of smart grid technology may be applied in relation to intelligent energy use in households etc. 2. CO 2 efficient city/villages Skanderborg Municipality is interested in obtaining more information on potential partners or projects that wish to further develop an idea about a CO2 efficient city area. This is to be obtained by ensuring that the citizens/households in a certain area become CO2 effi‐ cient/neutral through the use of sustainable energy resource. We could imagine a common project that aims at establishing an area of households, where energy consumption and energy production go hand in hand, so that households only use electricity, when there is energy from renewable sources (wind, solar thermal etc.) available in power plant. Such a project idea could have two focus points which might be di‐ vided into different potential projects: 2 1) ideas on how to create local energy production/optimize en‐ ergy production in the household (solar thermal/wind energy) and the technical aspects of ensuring that households only draw electricity when it can be generated from renewable energy from the power plant – this might include test‐ ing/developing smart grid technology. 2) Ideas/analysis´ and activities that concerns changing house‐ hold behaviour in terms of switching to energy from renew‐ able sources. Here, existing villages/country side villages etc. might work as a testing area in a project. 3. Change of energy behaviour in households (similar to above) The municipality of Skanderborg is interested in developing ideas with partners (local municipalities/educational institu‐ tions/enterprises etc.) on how to increase the use of energy from renewable sources in the households. More specifically, a project focus could be how to change household behaviour, for instance se‐ curing that households switch towards the use of energy from re‐ newable resources (solar thermal, wind energy etc. ) 4. Projects evolving around generating electricity from solar thermal Renewable energy and generating heat/electricity from solar thermal is a priority in the upcoming climate strategy for Skanderborg Mu‐ nicipality and as such, projects relating to new ideas on how best to use solar thermal technology would be of interest to us. Partners We imagine potential partners being local authorities, research and educational institutions, enterprises and / or SME’s. In terms of cooperation, Skanderborg Municipality is looking for partners interested in developing project ideas that may result in an application for an EU project in 2011 or 2012. Additionally, we would also be interested in getting in touch with a group of partners apply‐ ing for an EU project in a near future that might be lacking a partner. Finally, Skanderborg Municipality is interested in bilateral or multilat‐ eral cooperation on i.e. best practise or knowledge sharing, for in‐ stance on household behaviour and energy savings.

We must retain our strong cycling culture and pass it on to our children so they can get the same pleasure of moving through traf- fic on a bicycle. Unfortunately, we cycle less today than we did previously. It is quite normal for Danes to get behind the wheel of the car, even for short trips. It is com- fortable and convenient in our busy daily lives. If we are to succeed in en- couraging more people to use their bicycles, therefore, we must make it more attractive and thus easier to cycle to work, school and on leisure trips. We can achieve this by, for example, creating better cycle paths, fewer stops, secure bicycle parking spaces and new cycling facilities. In the government, we are working for a green transition and we want to promote cycling, because cycling is an inexpensive, healthy and clean form of transport. The state has never before done as much in this regard as we are doing at present.

Background: Use of antipsychotics in elderly patients with dementia has decreased in the past decade due to safety regulations; however use is still high. Geographical variation may indicate discrepancies in clinical practice and lack of adherence to evidence-based guidelines for the management of behavioral symptoms. Objective: To investigate potential geographical variances in use of antipsychotic drugs in dementia care. Methods: A registry-based cross-sectional study in the entire elderly population of Denmark (≥65 years) conducted in 2012. Data included place of residence, prescriptions filled, and hospital discharge diagnoses. Antipsychotic drug use among elderly with (n = 34,536) and without (n = 931,203) a dementia diagnosis was compared across the five regions and 98 municipalities in Denmark, adjusted for age and sex. Results: In 2012, the national prevalence of antipsychotic drug use was 20.7% for elderly patients with dementia, with a national incidence of 3.9%.

  • Aarhus/Central Denmark Awarded Title of European Region of Gastronomy 2017
    Aarhus/Central Denmark awarded title of European Region of Gastronomy 2017 Central Denmark can look forward to great international focus on both culture and gastronomy in 2017. Besides being European Capital of Culture Aarhus and Central Denmark Region have also just been appointed as European Region of Gastronomy in 2017. The great recognition is a result of a joint application entitled "Rethink good food" from a number of regional partners: Central Denmark Region, Aarhus municipality, European Capital of Culture 2017 Aarhus, Aarhus University, Aarhus Tech, and FOOD Denmark. "The jury was enthusiastic about our proposal, which is based on the Aarhus 2017 theme of rethinking. And we do that by strengthening the cooperation between chefs and food manufacturers, ensure sustainability, strengthen food education, and ensure public participation," says Head of Department Erik Sejersen, Central Denmark Region. The honorable title is awarded by the International Institute of Gastronomy, Culture, Arts and Tourism and in 2017 Central Denmark region shares the title with the region of Riga in Latvia and eastern Lombardy in Italy. "There is good reason for congratulating Aarhus and the region with this recognition. Culture and gastronomy are already going hand in hand, and in the program of European Capital of Culture gastronomy is already a major theme. We are looking forward to working with the other regions across Europe," says Rebecca Matthews, Managing Director of European Capital of Culture Aarhus 2017. The official nomination as European Region of Gastronomy 2017 takes place September 29th 2015 at an event in the EU pavilion at the world exhibition EXPO 2015 in Milan, Italy.

  • Still the Century of Government? No Signs of Governance Yet!
    STILL THE CENTURY OF GOVERNMENT? NO SIGNS OF GOVERNANCE YET! Kurt Klaudi Klausen ABSTRACT The fiscal crisis has led to recentralization, reorganization and innovation. These en- deavours can better be understood as acts of government than as governance. The heg- emonic position of New Public Governance is questioned from four reference points: (1) reform policies of the Danish state under three consecutive governments since the turn of the century; (2) the fate of a public policy manifesto by 30 Danish researchers (3) research that looked in vain for politicians who identify with and act in accordance with ideals of governance; and (4) the deliberate strategic efforts made by local author- ities to achieve strategic design fit and to push forward the innovation agenda from the top down. As far as signs of New Public Governance, the Danish case should be of par- ticular interest because of Denmark’s history of corporatism and consensus-oriented democracy, a highly decentralized welfare state and the high level of trust among citi- zens and at the workplace. Keywords – Governance, Government, Innovation, Local Government, Reorganization, Strategic Design Fit, Trust INTRODUCTION In the quest to find and develop a concept that can replace New Public Management (NPM, Hood 1991), a number of new modernization concepts have been launched. But are they better at explaining the modernization programmes and public sector behaviour of our time than NPM, which has had a hegemonic status since the early 1980s? We may speak of hegemony as Antonio Gramsci did in his prison notebooks (Gramsci 1926-35) when a particularly internally consistent concept of reform thinking becomes intellectually and culturally dominant to an extent where it is almost indisputable.
